@nepalibudho : inspiring. i am seeing myself in similar footstep like yours. i am not sure about 150k part though lol. can i ask what field of IT you in? JAVA, DAtabase something else? i am thinking for SAS clinical/Financial . but i am not sure . i am in dilemma, whether to start with BA/QA to get foot in door or take not so easy route of little complex ones.

@badhijanne . Thanks for the input. you are right that skill in civil gets valued as my career progresses. but my end plan is not to get stuck in 9-5 job or excel in current field . To be honest my choice of civil as my major was "value of profession" and "job prospect" . i was wrong with job prospect part since the compensation is not that awesome looking at the hard work we put throughout college.
